Challenge yourself
These are trail running events which means that the ground can be steep, uneven, stony, slippy and dangerous at certain points. But the challenge is always worth it. Routes are marked with marshals at key points, and we have a safety team on hand. We ask all competitors to take personal responsibility for their safety and for the safety of others.
